How do I make my web page load automatically?

In order to have a page load automatically when someone accesses your address, please make sure the page you'd like to have automatically open (i.e.: the page that will open when someone goes to www.yourdomain.com) is one of the following: 

  • index.html 
  • index.htm 
  • default.html 
  • default.htm 
  • index.asp 
  • default.asp

You may also use other extensions for your start page, such as .cfm, but you must contact Technical Support first. You can use .cfm for OTHER pages without contacting Technical Support.

You should not have more than one page with the above names. If you do, you should delete and/or rename the page that you don't want to automatically load.

We are connected to the Internet through a burstable DS3 configuration. We currently utilize less than 35% of this connection for our website customers. One thing you can be sure of - we will never be in need of bandwidth. When we exceed our 50% threshold, we add more.

How can I add Midi music to my site?

You can add sound or music to spice up your web site by embedding a MIDI file in your page. MIDI files are typically only about 15k to 25k in size, so they do not take very long to load. You can use MIDI files as background music on your page by adding the following code to the section of your html file:

<embed src="yoursong.mid" autostart=true hidden=true> <noembed><bgsound src="yoursong.mid"></noembed>

Replace "thesong" with the name of the MIDI file that you are using. This code excerpt will support people using Netscape or Internet Explorer.

To make a MIDI file play "on request" in the foreground, you link to directly to the MIDI file using a hyperlink.
